6.Hard
ReIm5

A system is described by the differential equation y″ + 6y′ + 34y = 4u′ + 15u, with input u(t) and output y(t). Find its transfer function G(s) = Y(s)/U(s) (zero initial conditions) and evaluate the impulse response g(t) at t = 0.25 s. Find g(0.25).

y″ + 6y′ + 34y = 4u′ + 15ut = 0.25 s
